Well the right side was dead nuts on but the best I could get the left side was -0.5 so I adjusted the right side accordingly. My caster is wicked high but like I said, that's not necessarily a bad thing. 

 

Truck rides nice and drives straight, I think I'm done messing with the suspension. On to the next project. DSC_0862.thumb.JPG.b05fac0616fa3a79865689177d37fd2f.JPG

You're never done. I just literally a week ago after a year got my suspension dialed in.  And next month it's coming off for a 2.5" level on 33s

Ok, ordered 2" drop shackles and I'm going to pull the block when I install. What shocks do you guys recommend for the drop, or are they even needed at on 3" of drop?

I would use the Belltech 2212FF for a 3'' drop.

I haven't changed the shocks and haven't had any issues.

We have two trucks with 3" of drop and both have stock shocks. One truck is a crew cab and the other is a regular cab if that helps.

Same here. Wife’s truck is a SIERRA crew cab and mine is a Silverado RCSB both with shackles 6401 and blocks removed. Both are using Stock Shocks with no issues at all.

What about shims? Did anyone need them?

Every truck is differant    you'll know once you do it

And if it does need it, typically which shims seem to be working? I'm not against ordering them just in case, I can't have this truck down for too long while I wait for shims to show up.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Glad that worked, and in this case that is all on Autel for somehow dropping the ball for not updating the GMC section properly.    I believe in the basic section or unless it is in the advanced, when one does a check of lets say individual sensors for what the pressure is ( and it shows a temperature as well ) , I think it picks up on what the model number of the sensor is in a certain section where you choose "OE" sensor or at least mine is telling me what the model number is and matches to what they actually are and that is the number I quoted in a prior post.    I don't recall now if I had said prior that I discovered with my truck anyway that no matter how low I set the placard pressure for the rear tires, if the physical pressure is under 35 psi and I drive it for about 15 miles the pressure warning will come on for one or both rear tires. I am speculating that there is something else in the trucks system that over rides the placard pressure setting once it drops below that minimum pressure to run a metric LT tire at. The weird thing is it does not trigger right away after driving a shorter distance, it took that longer drive for it to trigger. Just something to keep in mind if you were experimenting with pressures below 35 pounds for a tire designed for lower pressures ( larger than stock floatation series tires ) and not being overloaded of course.

      I've seen a scant few YT vids on them, but it's always in a performance application.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      No clue. Service advisor said he'd call me this morning, which I'm 99% sure won't happen. They had the truck 5 days, and I didn't hear a peep. Finally had to call them yesterday. I guess they'd be content to just let the truck sit in perpetuity.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I had a little bit of time before I left for work this morning, so I plugged the scanner back in, and I selected Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra, and the very first option was for a 2026 so I selected that one and I seen at the bottom it had the option for psi change unlike in the 2026 GMC Sierra, I selected that option and it took a little longer than the usual vehicle not supported, and sure enough I got into it, and it let my change the psi values.. I no longer have the low psi warning light!   Thank you for recommending me to try it under Chevrolet instead! I can confirm this device does work for a 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 hd 6.6 diesel  just have to select Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra.   Maybe I'll contact Autel and let them know of that issue and maybe they will fix it for the GMC option  because some people probably return the scanner due to it not working under GMC Sierra.
